reviews of bike from owners no doubt brother cg dream is very fun to drive bike
thspecially its power,acceleration & comfort level that foam idea is very nice to
avoid tiredness and enjoy long trips

Brother what you did of visor noise issue and can you kindly share pics of no plate
i want to see the "patti" used for its installation

One request kindly share your thoughts inputs on my thread to regarding cg dream

Like every one else I also applied joghat by placing a thin mattress piece wrapped in air tube. As far as number plate concerns there is nothing special in assembling. Take normally used front number plate and print bike number vertically rater horizontally. Fix it at front right side reflector.

Now ahead scenery is getting more beautiful with curling roads, high mountains and deep river. Time was almost 3 PM when we entered Islamgarh and now it's time to lunch.

We stopped at a hotel right at the entry of Islamgarh. Parked the bike at corner and sat on charpaaies. An important thing in travelling is to maximum avoid outdoor foods especially meat. We have our own home cooked sandwiches so only tea was ordered.

Meanwhile I offered prayer and little adventurer filled his belly with bottle of milk and my life as well as travel partner refreshed her by dialing phone to her mom and sister and inform them about all the enjoyment.

Thanks xoofi, Actually I have never been these places before so I don't have any information. I had only your given rout plan in my pocket and google map in mobile. Everything except these was new to us.

Sure bro.. just telling u.. what u have done is really commendable

After some rest we started our journey again. As we were moving further and further surrounding views were getting more beautiful. Now that scenery is in front of our eyes for what we had traveled so far. Except some bad patches, road was good but due to swinging roads speed is near 30 to 40. And don't ask about going upwards. Although our ride did not disappoint us but we took a tough job from that.

I had visited Murree and Sakardu on public transport but this time I got afraid to see such mountains and we were like a tiny creature against those.

Due to slow and limited speed, it took much time to reach to destination suddenly a sound appear from back "WoW". I looked back and asked what? My wife point to other corner and that was GULPUR Water Fall.

Really WoW... That's the view that urged me to travel till here. The scene was awesome. Nature was silently bowing in front of Almighty Allah S.W.T and we were also praising of the painter.

Only one word for all this "Subhan Allah"

As the Sun was planning to hide himself behind the mountains and roads were empty except some vehicles passed by us. There is a fear in mind for any bad happenings so we stayed for short, capture some shots and depart.

After the Gulpur mobile battery got down and we could not prisoned further natures beauty in our mobile

At last around 5 pm, we reached Kotli. Now we have to find that hotel and MCB branch. By inquiring from some locals, we were in front of hotel in next 20 minutes. There I tried to switch on my cell phone that have only some pulses to die. I instantly called Mr. Sarmad who told me to meet hotel manager and give him my reference. I parked my bike on side and went in hotel and introduced myself. Hotel manager, forgotten his name, welcomed me and immediately handed over me room keys after entry in register.

While unloading luggage from bike, Hotel manager came out and started staring at bike with some wonder on his face. I told him that this is the horse that has been unleashed from Lahore till here (320 Km).

Hotel was good and room was too as well. All necessities like TV, Instant water heater, AC were there. I instantly plug in charger to live my mobile and got a bath. My wife offered her prayer at the last moment and now this is Maghrib time. We both offered prayers and call at home to inform them current position. After taking some rest went out for wandering.

This is my honor that a traveler like you is a regular reader of my story. I could not reply due to time restraints. Any delay is highly regretted.

I asked from Hotel manager where we can go this time? And he replied that there is a point named "sarda" about 15 minutes' drive that is situated at top and you can enjoy top view of Kotli in night. And what about security? This was my second question. He told not to worry and you can freely enjoy on roads. I dreamt the beauty of that point in mind and depart. After some turns from Hotel there was a road going upward on mountain. We catch that road and slowly keep going. As we were going upward scene became so tremendous that can?t be expressed in words. On 22 March that was 1 Jamadi ul sani. Moon was like a sword in beautiful vast sky filled with little stars. That was feeling so close to us that it seems a little jump and catch. There was dark on road so we didn't stay and continue moving. At sudden a bike from back came closer to us with two boys and they said your rear tyre is puncture. What!!! I instantly stopped bike and look at tyre that was not flat but air pressure is too less. Oh no... That's what I was afraid off. A narrow road on mountain with no traffic and tyre puncture, what to do??? Thank God that tyre was not fully flat therefore I can still ride bike slowly. I asked my wife rather to keep going to that point or return? She said it is better to return. I thought for some time and asked from a shop keeper there, Is there any tyre shop ahead? Answer was NO. Now what!!! It's time to return in vain. I drove slowly and came back down. Located a puncture shop and got fixed. Give him 50 rupees and decided again to go up. And you know what? The point where we were going was just 25 to 30 feet away from where we had returned.

Is this the point? We asked each other...Full dark with one umbrella fixed at corner of road with full of bushes. We parked bike on road side and look below, there was little stars shining in front of our eyes. Those were not stars but electric lights sparkling in homes and shops. No doubt view was so good but that point needs to be retreated.

After spending some time there we came back down to city and now this is Dinner time. There was no difference in streets and shops. This was same as we are searching foods in Lahore streets. Nothing specialty observed in cooking so we decided to eat biryani. After getting filled now the other assignment for me was to find milk for baby. No packed or dry milk. Cow milk. And you will be surprised that there was not single shop seen selling cow milk or yogurt. That was so strange and too hilarious as well. I asked from some hotels to give half liter milk but answer was a BIG NO. Finally we purchased milk pack 2 packs and some snacks for little adventurer. When we reached at hotel and manager asked us about wandering, I told him that there is no milk available there in whole city and he replied Oh sir...We have...How much you want?
Anyways I asked him to fill half liter bottle. He did so and we came into our room. Baby enjoyed his milk and we chit chat each other and planned tomorrows schedule then asleep...Z z z z Z z z z z Z z z z.

Trrrrr...Trrrrrr...Trrrrrr...alarm rang for Fajar prayer at 6 AM. Me and wife got up, offered prayer and start packing luggage. Meanwhile choti duniya got up. We both first packed the luggage then baby. At about 8 AM we were ready to depart. Said good bye to hotel servants and took some shots.

Wah g wah

A shining sun in sky, surrounded by mountains and cool breeze in air welcomed us on the swingy roads of Kotli. We slowly started moving out the city. Bazar was open early and streets were crowded. I felt that bike chain has been loosed so stopped at shop to fix it. After fixing we hit the roads again. We saw many houses that were painted outwards so colorful and it reminds us of colorful candies those we used to eat in childhood. Wife said me that "Kitni zabardast Nigar Kashi ki hai" and I replied "qurban jaao aap ki urdu pay.....
